Levitated Mass

Levitated Mass is a 2012 large-scale public sculpture by Michael Heizer at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA). The installation consists of a 340-ton boulder placed above a 456-foot viewing pathway that allows 360-degree views of the artwork. This piece is free to see and open to the public during museum hours without requiring museum admission. Its massive scale and 106-mile journey from a Riverside County quarry generated significant media coverage, making it a notable Los Angeles attraction for art lovers and casual visitors alike.
